Aria Wedding & Banquet Facility

This venue is absolutely stunning! Their staff is just as incredible! Everyone is so professional, they’re so incredibly organized and made sure our day was absolutely perfect. Everyone was raving for weeks about how they wished our wedding didn’t have to end. I will recommend Aria time and time again.

Aria made our wedding day so seamless and stress free. We truly cannot say enough good things about the whole day, the look of the venue, the food, the service, and their attentiveness to us throughout the day. I can't imagine another wedding venue being as perfect as Aria, I did not have to worry about a thing the day of because I knew they would take care of everything. We both had someone with us the whole time we were there, making sure we ate, drank, and were on time. They also made the planning process stress free, we looked forward to every meeting we had with the staff throughout the whole process. I would recommend Aria to anyone and everyone, and I truly would love to relive my day there!

We could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding! The chapel was stunning, the ballroom was immaculate, and the food was amazing. The staff was incredible, from the planning process to the day of. Andrew and Greta were so helpful and answered our many, many questions. The bridal attendant and maitre d' were so attentive and handled everything. I can't fully express what an amazing job the entire staff did, and I would highly recommend this venue! Thank you so much for making our wedding the best day!!

I cannot brag about the Aria enough. The venue was beautiful and EVERY person there was wonderful. So helpful, kind, and caring.

My husband and I are so glad we chose Aria as our wedding venue! The new chapel is absolutely stunning! Aria combined both of our must haves - the European Italian garden/villa vibe for me and a ballroom so all of our guests could see us at once for him. Funnily enough, I grew up in a town over from Prospect and had never been to Aria before until we went for our initial tour and I was blown away. Throughout our two year planning process, Andrew was patient with us as we asked a plethora of questions and provided great input upon our request. After a disappointing tasting experience at one of their showcases in March 2023, Andrew listened to our criticism and concerns and promised that the feedback would be relayed. He reassured us that it was not a good reflection of what our actual wedding day would be like; and he was right! On our wedding day, the food was incredible! Everything was plated beautifully and was so flavorful - a huge difference from the tasting we attended. Guests are still raving about all of the food! Speaking of food, our bridal attendants, Gino & Klea, took incredible care of us! Both kept refilling our drinks and were kind enough to pack up all the left overs for us, including our cake! We left that night with a tray of pasta, any remainders of our entrees, desserts and pastries from the Venetian table and about 2/3 of our entire wedding cake! In addition to ensuring our needs were met, the bridal attendants and Maitre D ensured the ceremony and reception were executed flawlessly. One of the best things about Aria is they have done a lot of weddings and their expertise allows you to relax your actual wedding day. I did not have to think or worry about a thing that day which was invaluable. We could not be happier with how things turned out!

When my husband and I were planning our wedding and visited Aria for the first time, we immediately knew this HAD to be our venue. We recently got married in the stunning new chapel on August 19th and celebrated in one of ballrooms afterwards. Not only are the grounds and facilities gorgeous, but the service and attention that we received was incredible. I cannot stop dreaming about how beautiful our wedding day was, and I can truly say that this is because of the amazing staff at Aria. The team made our planning and wedding day seamless! At the end of the evening they even helped us to pack all of our things and packed us our extra food and some cake for us to enjoy later, which we thought was very special. Speaking of food, our guests could not stop raving about how great our food was as well. We would give Aria greater than 5 stars if we could, and would definitely recommend this venue to others!

Aria is a stunning venue and they provided quality food and alcohol to our guest for our wedding. The four stars is due to my ceremony not being carried out as planned. I had an usher walk down the aisle (which shouldn't have occurred) and my broom carrier did not carry our broom down the aisle as the broom was placed at the alter beforehand. Lastly, we did not get the ability to light our unity candle as the ceremony felt rushed due to tardy of our officiant which was no fault of Aria's nor our own. Overall, we were complimented on our wedding by our guest as one of the best wedding's they've ever attended. ♥

We got married here in April 2023, and we absolutely can not say enough wonderful things about Aria. The venue itself is grand and beautiful (honestly pictures do not do this venue justice; we almost didn't even tour here)- our guests were amazed by it. Futhermore, our guests were in awe of the amount of food at the cocktail hour in addition to the quality of their dinners. Their team was dynamic and made the planning process easy. The day of management, especially our bridal attendant absolutely blew us away- she was attentive without being overbearing and was always forward thinking. I can say without hestiation that this was without a doubt the venue of our dreams. Thank you Aria!

Aria is not only a beautiful venue, with great food; It has the best staff! Our day was perfect thank you to Aria, our bridal attendant and the maitre-d. I also highly recommend their beautiful chapel for your ceremony. As well as their recommended officiant Kelly Salerno.

I love Aria so much! From the beginning it was a wonderful experience. Lina helped me and my fiancé throughout, she was very friendly and responds quickly. I liked how organized they were and gave us a timeline list to focus on. Aria took care of everything except our decorations and center pieces. My maitre d was very helpful and attentive, she helped with my dress and every time I looked down at my table she had brought me a new drink. The food was very good, everyone loved the steak and stuffed shrimp. Lina even came down to our sweetheart table to see how everything was going during our wedding. Everything was perfect and beautiful. The only thing I wish was different was the food tasting, we didn't get that option because of covid but it was ok since the food turned out very good.

Aria was my dream venue since the first time I attended a work function. From the beginning to the end the team was very attentive. All of our request from having sparklers during our first dance, ordering a special tequila and having Haitain beef patties were made possible. On the day the attendant took very good care of us. From helping me bustle my dress, to holding my flowers and just grabbing anything we needed. The guest raved about the food and love the huge bar selection. The space and the staff were amazing. Thank you!!!!

Everyone at Aria was amazing! They made our day perfect. We worked with Andrew in sales and he was THE BEST! He knew what I needed before I needed it! On our day we had Geo and Klea working with us and they were both so good to us!! I would 100% recommend Aria to anyone!

Where do I begin!! 10/10 would recommend. My husband and I recently got married on 10/22/22 and had our reception in the big room of Aria. We would rate this venue 6 stars if we could. We were blown away by Aria and the team from beginning to end. We worked with Lina throughout the planning process and she was so kind, thorough, responsive and overall just very helpful. On the day of, they did an absolutely outstanding job. The room looked out of a fairytale wedding and everything flowed SO smoothly. We had the time of our lives! Also, our maître d' was a rockstar!! We didn't have to worry about anything all night and catered to our every need. Also, THE FOOD! So good. We've received so many compliments on the food and what an incredible job they did. Aria, you truly exceeded all of our expectations and we are so happy we had our wedding here!! Thank you for helping make our wedding day so special!!

I cannot begin to say enough good things about Aria. From the very beginning they were incredibly professional, kind, attentive and it has been an amazing experience as a bride planning her own wedding to work with such a wonderful venue and team. The venue itself is a dream, the staff is wonderful, the food is incredible. I had the wedding of my dreams and Aria was a huge part of that, thank you Aria!!!!

Aria was the perfect facility for us! We used the bridal suite which was a perfect addition to kicking off our special day. The chapel is literally perfect. The terrace gorgeous, and the ballroom speaks for itself! But we think a perfect venue is about more than just the beauty of the facility. It’s also about the food and the staff; both were a 10/10. Out guests raved! The staff, especially Tina, made sure my husband and I ate all our yummy food! The kitchen cooked everything perfectly! We were so thrilled we choose Aria! Definitely worth it!

Aria was an amazing venue for our wedding this past weekend. Our guests raved about the food and the beautiful grounds. The bridal attendant and the maitre d' were so attentive and amazing. (Cassandra and Pier) The venue was absolutely gorgeous and everything we had hoped for. The only reason I gave it four stars was because we wanted to take our first look and bridal party phots before the wedding, but had to pay additional money for the extra hour just to have access to the grounds for photos (we did not know this when we booked it). Overall, a great place for a wedding and amazing to work with!

We mostly worked with Lina during this entire process and she was absolutely fantastic to communicate with every step of the way! She was always quick to reply back. Easy to make all my appointments with. Great billing plan which made it affordable vs one lump sum upfront. Whenever I asked for a recommendation she would always have an answer. She helped set us up with a to go tasting meal of chicken and seafood dishes vs going to the dinner option. We loved the grouper and all their food in general haha We were able to have my husband's friend Bob marry us which was fun. Lina helped us all with the paperwork process with the City of Prospect. The day of all the staff at Aria were very nice and accommodating to us and our guests. We also got to meet the owner and asked if my now husband was allowed to touch/play the piano quick and he said yes! My husband loves playing the piano so it was sweet he able to even though the sign says not to. We liked that the owner was very hands on with his business.

When we first started planning we wanted a rustic, industrial vibe, but we soon found out it was way out of our budget. Aria made our wedding planning process super super easy and for an open bar, a lot of good food, and length of reception was budget friendly . We were concerned that we'd feel "unspecial" because another wedding happens at the same time as yours but we felt very well taken care of. I also appreciated how organized they were and their processes to keep everything on track. Special shout out to our bridal attendant who made a makeshift wedding topper when our baker forgot our topper.

Aria is top notch and if you’re looking for a breathtaking, gorgeous venue this is it!! Everything was amazing and everything we ever wished for on our wedding day!! We loved the way they all went above and beyond to please us and were so attentive to making every detail perfect. They are so accommodating and had so much patience with us bringing all our belongings before the big day. They kept everything safe, organized and set up perfectly for us. The staff is all so warm and welcoming. Lina is amazing to work with and our wedding attendee was unbelievable and didn’t miss a beat. She made sure we had everything we needed and was there 24/7 to take care of our needs on our special day. They make you feel right at home and confident for your big day! The food is absolutely delicious, service is impeccable and the venue itself is just gorgeous!!! I would highly recommend them for any special occasion!

From the moment we got engaged, my fiancé and I knew that we wanted our wedding at Aria. The entire staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating for us as we navigated through postponements and the general planning process. Lina was the most kind and helpful guide to have as we decided on food, timing, and ceremony options. Our guests continue to rave about both the quality AND quantity of food that we had. We continue to have our guests tell us that it was the best meal they’ve had at a wedding EVER. My only regret is that I didn’t eat enough of it! Aria provided us with a bridal attendant (Mariah) and a Maître D (Michael) and they were both PHENOMENAL. Mariah was kind and calming, and truly made sure that our every need was met. Michael kept our evening flowing efficiently and kept everything on time! We truly could not have imagined a more perfect day. The venue itself is gorgeous, and we were able to take pictures outside in their beautiful courtyards. We are so happy that we made Aria a part of our day and only wish that it had lasted longer! Thank you to everyone at Aria for a truly perfect wedding.

We had the absolute BEST experience at the Aria because of your venue and staff. Guests who have never been before described the venue as elegant, classy, and sophisticated. Thankfully the weather was gorgeous, and we got to hold our ceremony and cocktail hour outside Ballroom B in the gardens. The maintenance and overall beauty of the gardens area was wonderful. The food was outrageous, especially my favorites including the pesto gnocchi, crab cakes, and mini Philly cheesesteak rolls. Other married couples were happily shocked that the Bride and Groom were able to tell staff when WE wanted to eat, even as the guests were receiving their dinner as we were making our way around tables. This was perfect so that our food was hot when we were ready to eat, and the filet mignon was cooked to perfection! The staff boxed up all food and placed our decorations on the cart so we could enjoy every single minute until it was over. The professionalism, charisma, and excitement the staff showed (especially Andrew and Lina) during our appointments made the experience such an incredible journey. The two Bridal Attendants we had all night were phenomenal and always asking us how we were doing and if we needed anything else. I would have nothing improved at our wedding because it was the most perfect Wedding day we could have dreamed of, all with the help of Aria.

The Aria was absolutely beautiful. I was sad that it rained on my special day but they set everything up inside and made it work! My husband and I had the best time and they made sure we were accommodated every moment. They didn't miss a beat. The staff was exceptional if we can relive that day again we would over and over. Thank you Aria for making it the most beautiful & perfect wedding EVER!

I was supposed to get married in March 2021 at Aria, thinking that after COVID-19 Pandemic it would all be okay to have my wedding. My fiancé and I consulted with Aria monthly since September of 2019 where they told us we would just have to wait and see what the state of CT would do regarding the lockdown. The consultant at Aria continued to tell us that we would have to see in February if the state lock down would be lifted. As a bride I could not wait until February 2021 to decide if I was going to be able to host my wedding for March 2021. Aria gave us no direct answer until we asked them again in December 2019. They reported to us that we would not be able to have a 25 person wedding, which we were given the option to have a 25 person wedding at our 6 month meeting in September 2019. Therefore we decided to not have our wedding at Aria due to the lack of clear information. They gave us the option to reschedule our wedding but if we wanted the price that we were locked into, it would have to be in the same season just different year OR not have our wedding with them at all. Since we decided to not have our wedding with Aria we tried to get our money back due to being written in their contract Aria shall not be responsible or held liable for its failure to comply with the terms of this agreement as a result of the following: fire, flood, extreme weather conditions, AND any other Acts of God or causes beyond the control of Aria. Should such a situation occur and Aria be unable to host your event, ALL DEPOSITS/PAYMENTS will be RETURNED.” Due to the pandemic being beyond the control of Aria our deposits/payments should have been returned in full. However the individual we worked with at Aria reported that the COVID-19 pandemic is not an act of God or beyond Aria's control, which is strange to me because having the state of CT shut down and not allow any events seem to be out of Aria's control. We fought this as much as we could without legal authorities and were able to get 50% of our deposits/payments back. Although we are grateful for the 50%, we are still disappointed and disgusted at how they are able to keep our money for an event that we were not able to have because of the state's restrictions. In the end we have had a terrible experience with Aria and as a COVID-19 bride I shouldn't have been put through what I was put through with Aria.

From the moment we got engaged, we knew Aria was our top choice. Little did we know that we would be so BLOWN AWAY with their level of service, support, quality and care. From the moment we walked in, we knew would be treated like family and they literally treated our wedding as such. Our wedding was originally in June 2020 but we moved to July 16, 2021 due to COVID, which was a difficult decision, and keep in mind we lived in the Midwest while planning our wedding. They supported us with every change and were extremely flexible, and we are so grateful. In advance of the big day, they were so organized and detailed that we barely had to lift a finger. They had the best recommendations for vendors, the best intel on the wedding itinerary, and more. They are a one-stop shop! During our big day, they catered to our every need and that of our bridal party. The service was IMPECCABLE and the food was outstanding! Lina, Lori, Andrew -- thank you for all that you did to make our wedding the best for us and our guests!

We can’t say enough amazing things about the experience we had at Aria - both planning and execution. From the beginning, everyone was extremely helpful and positive throughout the planning period. We started our planning with Lina and ended with Andrew. They would always respond in timely a manner and made sure they went through everything thoroughly with us. Days before the wedding we had a few cancellations and Andrew was so awesome about making sure we had all the guest information correct. Now for the day of - freaking fantastic. Our bridal attendant was by far the best and most professional we have ever met. She was lightning fast with preparing, even helped me and my 6 bustles!!! I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about this venue. The entire staff was a delight and extremely helpful. We are more than happy that we ended up choosing it and hopefully this helps you make your decision easier! A big thank you to everyone at Aria that made our special day just that much more special. It was worth every penny!

Aria was absolutely amazing for our wedding reception! We got engaged in December and they luckily had a cancellation in July so we were able to score that date! I was quite nervous about only having 7 months to plan a wedding but Aria made it so easy!! We worked with Lina who was absolutely amazing. We had countless meetings with her and she was extremely helpful throughout the process. She really understood what we wanted and helped to make that vision come to life. It’s been 2 weeks since our wedding and people are still talking about! Mainly the food! Aria has such a great selection of appetizers and meals that there is something for everyone. Most importantly the venue itself is absolutely stunning and there are multiple places to have your photos done! We had 200 people and I was worried it would feel empty in the large ballroom but it was absolutely perfect. The dance floor is right in the middle and everyone dances all night! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ARIA!!!

We searched for a wedding venue for approximately 3 months before we found Aria. The second we walked into the lobby I knew that it was the place for us. We worked with Lina throughout our entire experience (which spanned well over 2 years thanks to COVID) and she was an absolute gem! She answered all of our questions and helped me through the entire process. On the day of the wedding Katya and Michele (I'm not sure how to spell their names) were our attendants and they were fantastic! Katya made sure that we were in the right place at the right time. They always made sure that we had something to eat and drink - which is surprisingly easy to forget on your big day! We received so many compliments on the venue from our guests. No one could believe that a place like that was located right in Connecticut. We cannot say enough great things about Aria! They are all so friendly and accommodating in all aspects. I'm pretty sure the owner even came into our reception to make sure that we were happy with everything!

Absolutely amazing job!! Food was amazing, employees were amazing, atmosphere was amazing. I am incredibly pleased with the outcome. You won’t be disappointed. Best venue I have ever attended.

Absolutely amazing!!! The staff the food the venue just everything! This was the first place I laid eyes on when I started looking. As soon as I received a tour I knew this was the place I was going to get married! Our wedding was 4/30/21 and we are still getting calls about how much fun everyone had and the amazing food! I’m honestly just trying to think of a reason to have another event there 😂 AMAZING

First off, Aria is a BEAUTIFUL facility. When you add in a staff that pays great attention to detail, a day of crew that exceeds all your expectations, and the little personal touches you get to put on it we could not have imagined selecting a more perfect location for our wedding. From the first moment we stepped foot into the facilities we knew it was the one. Then came COVID. After an additional year of unknowns and planning the day was as beautiful as we could have dreamed.

Our wedding was April 17 2021 at Aria. The food was amazing. The staff was incredibly helpful every step of the way. My bridal attendant, Katia, was amazing!! She was super helpful throughout the night. Would highly recommend Aria for any events! We are very pleased with our experience.

This venue is the best. Aria will work with you TIRELESSLY. I fell in love with the venue the first time I stepped foot in it. Lori helped us through the year and a half. Answering emails and getting back to us in a timely manner ALWAYS. She made sure the staff were incredible too. On the day of I was treated like a QUEEN and if something went wrong, I wouldn’t know! The execution was flawless and amazing. Everything was PERFECT. From food to staff to every little detail. Thank you Aria for making my wedding day the best day of my life!

We didn’t even enter the building before we knew this was going to be the place where we were going to get married. The grounds at Aria are beautiful, but the lobby and ballrooms were stunning. They were booked out about a year and a half but were the only venue to have a room minimum (75) that we knew we could meet. Throughout the planning process, Lory and Lena were extremely responsive and more than willing to answer each of our questions. We went to a couple of their Monday night dinners expecting to try some of the wedding options, but they only offer some of the pasta and hors d'oeuvre choices – so while it is a fun experience, don’t expect to try wedding food. We also weren’t impressed with the quality of the food at the dinner. We also got to go to the tasting that they offer once a year for their booked weddings. Again, we weren’t able to try any of the main courses as they were just on display. There were maybe two hors d’oeuvres that were options but everything else available to try appeared to be a station that you could add to your wedding package. Again, it was a very fun experience and you did get to taste the cake from most of their preferred vendors. Even though we were nervous about not trying the food, the wedding day came and went and each item on our menu was PERFECTION. We still hear today how amazing the food was there and were told that, although the main courses were amazing, the cocktail hour was even better! So take Aria’s word for it and all the reviews that their food really is the best. The ceremony and reception went by seamlessly and was so organized by the staff that I didn’t have a thing to worry about. We can only hope that we are invited as guests to Aria so we can experience this beautiful and amazing venue again!

Aria made our wedding dreams come true! From the initial booking process, all the way through the end of our reception, the Aria staff was truly amazing. Always greeting you with smiles and are extremely helpful in anything you may need and personal special touches that they made happen. The day of our wedding Michel was wonderful and so was our bridal attendant, Besa, she was exceptional and made our day so easy for us. Aria is extremely organized and everything flowed perfectly. Our guests keep telling us it was the most beautiful and FUN wedding they have ever been to. The food was fantastic, the staff is the BEST, and if you want to have your fairy tale wedding to come alive then Aria is your venue to book! We want to thank everyone at Aria from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding dreams come true!

Everything on our wedding day went smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The venue had everything well organized and helped each of us feel comfortable and pampered throughout the whole evening. They took care to make sure every detail was exactly how it should be, and worked collaboratively with me to ensure I could be a part of set up for my own piece of mind. Thank you for a day I will never forget!

Absolutely gorgeous!! We had our wedding on 11.3.19 and the experience with Aria was seamless. The team is like a family. Easily accessible for hundreds of questions from a nervous bride! Staffed with a professional, friendly, and accommodating team! Delicious food - and plenty of it!!! Beautifully and elegantly designed - it’s like living your own fairytale for the day!! Mille grazie!!

My husband and I had our wedding their on Thursday September 5,2019. The staff was so amazing and easy to work with; and we got so many compliments on the food! Thank you Aria for making our wedding something extraordinary 💜

My husband and I had the best day of our life!! Lina, Lory and Kelly were amazing to work with. Anytime we had any questions or concerns they responded quickly to our emails and phone calls. We are so happy we chose Aria and we wish we could relive our day over and over again. Every single one of our guest said the food was amazing and the venue was so beautiful and breathe taking. Our bridal attendant was AMAZING and we were treated with love and respect the entire time. Aria is like family to us now ! We can keep going on with how amazing Aria and all the staff were to us and our guest. If you don’t choice Aria as your wedding venue you will be so disappointed. We promise you that you are in excellent hands and they provide the BEST of the BEST !!! Thank you for making our wedding day perfect and memorable !

If you're looking for a perfect venue in CT to host your wedding reception, Aria in Prospect, is the place to go! As a native New Yorker, I was skeptical about having my daughter's wedding in CT but from the moment we walked into this beautiful venue I knew we had to have her wedding here. The hilltop views are breathtaking, the banquet rooms and outside gardens are magnificent and the food and service cannot be beat! Everything was perfect, from start to finish. The Geloso family treated us like we were members of their family. Joey Geloso, one of the owners, met with us a few times prior to the affair and was so helpful and accommodating. He helped us select the menu and worked with us to make it as affordable as possible. On the day of the wedding, the Aria staff worked tirelessly to make sure all of our guests had all of their needs met. The cocktail hour stations were exceptional, the main course meals were served promptly and were delicious and the Venetian Hour was absolutely amazing, From the prosciutto station to the fried dough station to the crepe station to the gelato station I don't think anyone could have left this wedding hungry! There just aren't enough good things I could say about this venue! I highly recommend it to everyone and I hope to be a repeat customer in the future! Aria is the BEST!

The entire wedding day itself was wonderful! The bridal attendant, Dimitrio, was fantastic! The only things I would nitpick about, are as follows: - More communication leading up to the wedding day - for instance, my husband and I had been bounced around between 3 different event planning staff - two of which were switched without our knowledge. No one notified us of these changes, and we did not hear from anyone until we called, each time. It just felt very disorganized leading up to the day; but the day itself was incredible. - The expectations of the wedding party in terms of reception set-up need to be further clarified. We were told certain things would be set up for us, but this was not the case (unclear on details, but my bridesmaids had to scramble when we already had an incredibly limited time-frame as it was). Otherwise, this was an absolutely beautiful venue. Thank you for the perfect wedding day!

The staff at Aria is a dream to work with! We worked primarily with Lory, but the whole team was great. Just always lovely to speak with, helpful, and accommodating. Our wedding day went off without a hitch thanks to their expertise. I love that I had my own bridal attendant, Chrissy, who oversaw the event flow, fluffed my dress, and made sure I ate, drank, and relaxed. She truly helped to make the day. On top of all that, the venue is beautiful, the food is wonderful, and the service is top notch! I'm so glad we chose Aria for our big day. I cannot imagine having gotten married anywhere else.

Hands down the best experience! Everyone was so welcoming always friendly. Very professional.. highly recommended.

I am in awe with the service we received from Aria for our wedding. They did an amazing job from the planning, up until the reception. We received an amazing first impression of the facility and service after meeting Kelly at the front desk. She was so sweet, so friendly, and her presence was so warm! My husband and I were amazed at Aria's beauty from the tour she gave us. After, we met Lina, who helped us get the ball rolling. She informed us of different packages to help us fit our needs. Then, we met Lory, who made the process of picking out meals, linens, table layout, seating, etc. so easy and effortless. We were married at our church, so when we arrived to Aria, they were all there. We were greeted on arrival from Lina who introduced us to our bridal attendants Klaudia & Katya. These girls were awesome! The whole night, we had drinks in our glasses, food on our table, one of them kept fixing my hair and had unlimited bobby pins to make sure I looked good in pictures. These ladies were so helpful and attendant, not only to myself and my husband, but our bridal party! Their attentiveness was so appreciated and helpful! The food was delicious, all food palates were accommodated to because of Aria's delicious appetizers, hors d'oeurvres, main plates, donut bar (add on), and drinks. All the vendors we found had been at Aria in the past, so it was helpful because the photographer and videographer knew the best places to take photos (given the rain), how to play the music (given the acoustics of the room), and how to make everything look and sound good. I am so grateful to the staff at Aria for making our day so special, amazing, and simply perfect. If you're looking for a wedding venue, you will not be disappointed with the prime service, attentiveness, and hospitality from the Aria crew. My husband and I recommend Aria wholeheartedly!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Aria from the start. They truly went above and beyond to answer our questions, provide accommodations for guests with special needs and requests, and they were so thorough with guiding us through the wedding process. The venue itself is gorgeous, and after the wedding all of our guests were very impressed with the food (especially the appetizers). During the actual wedding day our bridal attendant, Besa, was with us whenever we needed her and she made sure we didn't have to worry about anything. We don't think we could've found a better venue to host our reception. The wedding day was perfect and felt like a dream, and we would recommend Aria to anyone who is planning their wedding!

First let me say Aria is a beautiful place inside and out. The decor is upscale and elegant and the grounds are beautiful. Me and my husband married at Aria on 2/24/19, the staff and service there was amazing. We never wanted for anything. They set up all my decoration since I did not have a wedding planner. As long as you package everything and its not in multiple pieces they a more than willing to set up the venue for your big day. Our bridal attendant was amazing she tried to hold me together even though I failed miserably lol. Lory and Linda from Aria were just amazing during the process working with me, answering my emails and returning my calls almost immediately all the way up to the day before. We could not have asked for a better venue or staff to help us make our most special day as perfect as we imagined it to be. Thank you.

All of our guests were impressed with the space, and the food was amazing! The staff at Aria made everything so easy for us as the bride and groom so on the day of the wedding we knew we did not need to be nervous about anything. We had a few out of the ordinary pieces in our wedding and Aria was on board with everything, it really helped make our day even more special.

I don't even know how to explain how perfect Aria was for our wedding. From the time we booked our wedding, the staff at Aria was extremely helpful and supportive, and helped us to plan the day of our dreams. All of our guests were blown away by how beautiful the venue is, how delicious the food was, and how smoothly the entire event went. I do not have a single negative remark about my experience working with this venue and give it my highest recommendation.

The Aria staff is professional and outstanding. They handled everything and our daughter's wedding went off without a hitch! They have wedding planning and it's subsequent execution down to an exact science. Very pleased!

My fiancé and I attended a wedding at, Aria Wedding & Banquet Facility by Villa Rosa. And I must share, how gorgeous this place is. One thing I didn’t like was, the wrong order arrived to me. The staff gave me the, DJ’s plate? Other than the, mix up order. Every was perfect at, Aria Wedding & Banquet Facility by Villa Rosa.

I fell in love with Aria from the first time that I went to visit. I could not picture myself getting married anywhere else. It had all the elements that I wanted, from the beautiful grounds to a grand staircase in the ballroom to all around big windows windows. Aside from being beautiful, the service was incredible from the moment we signed our contract to the last minute of our wedding day, we were well taken care of. Our bridal attendants were amazing, they took care of absolutely everything day of. The food is amazing, the staff is so helpful and friendly, the list goes on and on! This venue is all around perfect, if you're looking for a venue in CT, look no further than Aria!

Words can not describe how magical my wedding was at aria! It was truly a dream come true. Aria made my wedding go so smoothly. Right from the beginning when we booked Aria 2 years ago. All the staff made my wedding so stress free. I wouldn’t change a thing. Lina is amazing and couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner. And our wedding attendants made sure my husband and I were well taken care of all night. They made sure we had our drinks and made sure we had time to eat. Speaking of eating the food is delicious! The venue is amazing. The decor and chandeliers make the venue look beyond elegant. I will never ever forget this day and I think I can say the same for all of the guests. Thank you so so so very much Aria for all that you did in making my fairytale wedding a dream come true!

Aria exceeded our expectations. All of the staff stepped in to make sure the entire day went smoothly and that we didnt worry or stress about a thing. Lina was amazing and always there to answer and questions I had right away. I never felt like a customer they always made you feel like part of their Aria family. Thank you Aria for giving my husband and I the wedding of our dreams.

This was my families second wedding at Aria and it was amazing. The staff was so accommodating throughout the entire process and especially the day of. The food was incredible and it was so beautiful. We did a Christmas wedding and the decor was AMAZING. I had so many people come up to us tell us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to and it was the best food they ever had at a wedding! Thank you to Aria for making my wedding dreams come true.

We recently had our November wedding at the Aria, and it was nothing short of perfection. Leading up to the wedding, Lina was SO helpful, responsive, and supportive through the entire process. The day of the wedding everything ran so smooth and efficiently. Our bridal attendant was phenomenal and so helpful, the food was AMAZING (we received SO many compliments from lots of happy guests) the whole ballroom was set up perfectly, and the Aria is just stunning and picture perfect. We could not be happier with our chose to have our wedding at the Aria, and I would recommend Aria to anyone looking for an elegant wedding venue!

Aria was amazing of course you view and fall in love with the staircase and is great to do your wedding introduction. But what made this venue so making was how much they do for you, the bridal attendants were amazing they made sure my husband and I were taken care of as well as our bridal party. There was not much to be done and if you are specific in the details for your wedding set up they will set it up perfectly. I loved the Aria and the staff and would definitely recommend it.

Best day ever!!! Aria was so easy to work with prior to my wedding, and they covered every detail that we planned! From the initial meeting, I knew we had picked the right place for us! The food was out of this world, and as an Italian wedding that is the most important thing! I was super impressed how my bridal attendant, Besa, watched over me the entire night, making sure my husband and I ate, drank, and had everything we needed! She did everything without us even asking! She even boxed up a little bit of every food choice for us to enjoy the next day! We enjoyed our day/night to the fullest and we would recommend Aria to EVERYONE!!!! The owner even came out a few times to check on us. The next day we came back to get all our stuff and it was nearly boxed up, our extra cake was refridgersted overnight and they quickly sent us off with everything in tact! Great service! Great good! Amazing day!!!! Thank you so much to all the staff!!!!

10/13/18 wedding- Look no further because Aria did an amazing job! The food and service was great! The staff made sure everything ran smoothly. If you want to enjoy your wedding without any problems or frustrations then Aria should be your first choice! They were on top of everything and made sure that we were all taken care of. Thank you to everyone at Aria for making our day so special!

We got married on September 29th, 2018 and had our reception in Ballroom A. I am an event planner and my husband is in the industry as well. We wanted to find a venue that was different , unique and beautiful not to mention big enough for our big fat Greek wedding. We found all of that and more in choosing Aria for our day. From Lina, to ownership we were able to create the wedding of our dreams with them. We were able to customize menus and drinks to create an atmosphere most of us just dream about on our wedding day. Every single person that not only attended this wedding but saw pictures is in complete awe of the facility, the food , the grounds and I could keep going. Our guests are still saying this was the best wedding they had ever been to. We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our dream wedding come to life.

- [ ] We got married on Friday 9/28/18 and everything from start to finish was AMAZING. Our ceremony was supposed to be outside but it was raining all day and didn’t look like it was going to stop. Joe and his staff held out until the last possible minute for us to make the decision. The sky cleared and we were able to have it outside! Our bridal attendant was Claudia, she was the BEST. Every way we turned she was there making sure we had everything we needed. She set up our decor flawlessly and made sure it was packed up at the end of the night. We received so many compliments on the food, the venue, the flow of the day, and the professional service overall. There are so many photo opportunities inside and out. Our guests told us that the waiters kept the tables clean, were right there for any requests, and the waiter Fox made a notable impression on our parent table. We HIGHLY recommend Aria if you are looking for nothing less than EXCELLENT. Thank you to the Geloso family, Aria, and all of the staff for allowing us to have a flawless fairytale wedding.

If you are looking for a fairy-tale kind of wedding and a one stop shop, Aria is ABSOLUTELY your place! My husband and I had our reception here and let me tell you, you get the royal treatment! We live in California, but had the wedding in CT and Aria was so accommodating. Every time we were visiting CT they would fit us in for appointments no problem. Professionalism from start to finish! They truly made our day one we will never ever forget! Book early because they book up FAST! The food and venue are to die for! Breath taking grounds and banquet halls! Each and every guest was literally blown away - from cocktail hour to the reception, everything was flawless. Be sure to ask for Besa to assist with your wedding because she is just the best! Lina and the Geloso men make a dynamite team! Thank you for making our dream of a wedding come to life! I recommend Aria 100x over, there is no other place that can make your dreams a reality!

My husband and I got married at Aria on August 3rd 2018. There are no words to describe the service and experience that we had working with Aria and their incredible team. Aria was the first and only venue that we looked at the weekend after we got engaged. After booking with Aria directly following our tour, they exceeded our expectations throughout the entire wedding planning process. There is truly no other venue in Connecticut that 
“wows” quite like Aria does. From the lush gardens, fantastic patio, and absolutely exquisite ballroom, all of our guests were blown away the second they stepped into the grand foyer. Throughout our entire wedding planning process, all of the Aria staff members were kind, compassionate, and extremely helpful. While we worked mainly with Lina, who was phenomenal, the entire Aria family catered to our every request and need. While we had heard that the food at Aria is out of this world, we can now attest that is truly is absolutely exceptional. Some of our guests thought cocktail hour was the dinner! Both my husband and I come from big Italian families, and everyone could not stop raving about the food. We cannot thank Aria enough for helping make our dream wedding a reality. If we could give them 10 stars we would. They truly hit it out of the park, and ensured our wedding would be smooth and perfect, which it was. On the day of our wedding, we had an absolute blast, and that wouldn't be possible if it weren't for the Aria staff. Thank you all so so much!

Our wedding was August 2018 and Aria made everything absolutely splendid! Our maitre d, Michel, was wonderful. He took good care of us, was always very attentive and was very gracious to my photographer when she requested additional time. Our food was delicious! The bartender made my guests feel special by remembering their drinks. Aria truly delivered an amazing experience. My favorite Aria moment was when the lovely staff member who was carrying my train to the aisle whispered in my ear that they were so excited for me!

I had my wedding two weeks ago at Aria and it was such an amazing experience. It was perfect from start to finish. Everyone (Lina, Chrissy, and Dimitri) was super helpful and made the day perfect. I am so happy that I had my wedding there and wouldn't change it for the world. I have very critical in-laws and they had no complaints for the entire night. Aria's services was compared to the Breakers in Florida and let me just say Aria's was superb. I definitely recommend this venue to whomever is looking for a venue to get marriedt or have their reception at!

At first tour Aria was the perfect place for my husband and I to get married. It is beautiful, well maintained and updated unlike many other banquet venues I looked at. The downside of this venue for me was during the planning portion which was less than desirable and quite frustrating at times. They only have one menu tasting a year! They do not advertise this or tell you when that date is when you book with them so my husband and I missed the event because we were never emailed about it. We had to pick up food to go in order to try it before selecting our menu-it was not the experience I was hoping to have. Aria also does not provide you with one point of contact for your wedding planning so
